Charge On Innovation Challenge: Miners Unite to Create a Challenge for Carbon Neutral Mining - YouTube Starting May 18, suppliers, professionals and startups can sign up for a global open innovation challenge to help develop new processes and technologies for battery charging for large mining trucks during the operating cycle. Launched in partnership between Vale, BHP and Rio Tinto, the objective of generating solutions that will allow the replacement of diesel with batteries and, thus, significantly reduce emissions in operations in open pit mines. The “Charge On Innovation Challenge” is being conducted in partnership with Austmine, an association of industries in the sector of Equipment, Technology and Mining Services in Australia.

Charge On Innovation Challenge: Miners Unite to Create a Challenge for Carbon Neutral Mining - YouTube Vale believes that the future is all about the choices we make today. Therefore, we cannot afford to postpone our commitment to the future. We are one of the largest mining companies in the world and we understand our responsibility towards the planet. Our Strategy unfolded in 2030 targets uphold this commitment. We are reducing our CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (scope 3) by 2035, in line with our strategic pillar - New Pact with Society - and the goal of improving your value to society. Vale has adopted more challenging and ambitious sustainability goals to foster safer and more sustainable activities in the mining industry and have a beneficial effect on society.
The emissions reduction target is part of Vale's path to becoming carbon neutral by 2050. After reaching this target, Vale will assess the possibility of reducing remaining emissions based on carbon prices through purchase of carbon credits.
